If someone feels enthusiastic enough... mussel could do with a cleanup
(deleting files or purging packages) and/or some extra space. There's
84MB free on /, which is the only local filesystem. I wanted to compile
a kernel on it recently, but it wouldn't fit... ::-/

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             3.5G  3.3G   84M  98% /

/tmp could usefully be a swap+memory tmpfs, limited to a reasonable max
size - of course, there's only 640MB RAM and 500MB swap, on its full
4GB disk.
